It’s Boom Boom Season

Now let me just get one point across very quickly. Us girls can refer to our event as the “boom boom” but when some eccentric old man asks “what time is the boom boom?” that is just strange. So please call it the boom run.

I’m hanging in my hotel room here in beautiful Lehi, Utah. Beautiful is an understatement. As I learned over 10 years ago during my whitewater rafting trip on the Green River, there is no prettier state. Not too often you can run the boom with snow capped mountains behind you.

The event has treated me quite well so far. I’ve had the fastest times of the weekend, and will compete in finals later this afternoon. It’s quite simple… training pays off. No doubt about it. Ask me how I feel about all of this training in a month, and I may have a different answer for ya. :)

The next 10 weeks are booked solid. You ready for this?

These events will most definitely help keep a smile on my face and my stress levels high. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m going to take a quick nap before finals tonight… updates shortly!
